Today should be a day for finishing off the week's SmileBASIC game, but.. It's barely started!

RSKGames has been posting a bunch of comments for some of the older (if you can call games from January and February "Old") Browsercade games.
Let's have a peek!

Sorry to get you excited, there, but the little dungeon puzzle thing has already been scrapped.

I started work on a Dungeon Puzzler, last night, on SmileBASIC/Petit Switch.

Suggested by Michael Fernie (feel free to make suggestions!) this week's game sees our unnamed hero searching for the key to the dungeon door.
Carrying only a flaming torch, can you defeat the enemies and reach the exit?
You can Play Take This Torch in the Browsercade, on your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

A decade is over, and what have I done?
373 games, created a new blogging script for here, rewritten the Socoder forum, started a few new sites and more!
Oh, and a brain tumour!
It's been a wild and crazy decade, and over the next few days I'll be looking back at the best (and worst) games from the decade.

Don't worry, I didn't completely abandon the Shoebox!!

Added Top Down Walls for dungeons and mazes and whatnot.
These walls are based on the walls I created about a decade ago, for Alien Deathmatch, and come in 4x4 sheets of tiles, with wall paths that should cover the majority of wall requiring purposes.
If you're in need of more specific tiles, you'll just need to improvise.
Hopefully they come in handy for future wall-based projects!

I haven't got much planned for this week's game, yet.
I was first waiting to see if a Buffer Drawn Tilemap might be workable, but it seems that it's going to be a missing feature on 3DS.

Each week, Player's pass their thoughts on the crazy random games I make, and I go over their comments, commenting on their comments.
It's a Comment-o-Rama!
If you want to join in. Comment!!

Overview: Endless dungeon exploration with huge amount of monsters to kill. All the monsters have escaped from the ''The Dangerous World of Castles''(TDWOC) to inhabit the dungeons.

The monsters return in this crazy dungeon romper.

Developments

I decided not to work on the Framework, yesterday, and instead focus on the more immediate issues.

Things are looking great for this week's game.
The balance is now just-right, and I'm getting more or less similar scores on each play-through, which is usually my sign that I've done a decent job at making the thing play at the same level each time.

I imagine future Daily Blog posts might end up reading roughly the same way, for a while..
"Today, I coded more of my new Framework..."
and that's about it!

I really need to finish off this week's game!

Enemies are currently letter x's whilst bullets are letter o's.
The game is nice and fast, and as RSKGames suggested in a comment, it does indeed have a "World of Castles" vibe going on.
The regular AGameAWeek deadline is pretty much imminent, so I think I'm going to let it whoosh past, and instead give the game the attention is deserves.
Chests and Treasures and Hearts and Potions and a whole bunch of evil do-ers roaming around the dungeon.
That's probably the best w...

With the basic dungeon generator up and running, I spent most of yesterday adding in enemies.
At the moment, the game is FAR too difficult, and definitely needs some kind of balancing.
